I'd love to use Google Now on my Nexus but I cannot accept the trade off. Constantly following me around and analysing my search history is somehow like peeping under my clothes to see all the warts and all. I'm a nobody so the invasiveness isn't really that important but somehow I just can't accept it. However the product itself looks awesome.
Someone needs to come up with anonymous profiles rather than linked to a name and then people like me might be more inclined to use such services.
The thing is, that's all well and good, but advertisers want more personal info, and they're the ones paying the bills. If users paid the bills, they'd probably have more choice. As of right now, that's not the way most internet things work (sadly).
